This past weekend, we took a small and mighty crew to capture the cutest, quaintest, and most adventurous spots all over Lancaster County! We consider ourselves lucky to be headquartered in such a beautiful community. Shout out to Discover Lancaster and all of the amazing people that made this shoot possible!

Every great execution starts with a great plan. With only an hour to film Coach, we knew we had to make every take count! Coach nailed every one, giving us plenty of options left on the cutting room floor. Thankful for his time and talent and for our crew, who work hard to prep each shoot with creativity and precision.

As we dive into back-to-school season, it's a perfect time to reflect on one of our favorite past campaigns for an esteemed trade school! May 2022, Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology called us needing a pretty major marketing overhaul – replacing 7-year-old videos with 30 films to represent each of their 26 programs and push core messaging for student enrollment initiatives. Poignant and grounded, we created a campaign that exchanged the expected trade-school scenes (cue construction workers with clipboards) for beautiful closeups and candid student interviews. The message: trade school is a legit choice, not a last resort. Through this campaign, we helped the college recruit new students—and reframe their brand promise—through defying stereotypes. “You presented something that we weren't seeing, and then you created something that we would've never been able to do without you.” - Tracey Dukert, former Thaddeus Director of Communications and Marketing #recruitmentvideo #studentrecruitment #tradeschool #techschool #highereducation

PSE…C… what? 😅 In our latest campaign for PSECU, we decided to go all-in on an unusual insight. The name PSECU is hard to remember. In this campaign real people tried to recall “PSECU” – and it didn’t go so well. But while the name may be hard to remember, the perks, are unforgettable. 💛 Special thanks to all of the real-life participants who kept it real in their responses!

Anyone in the creative field knows: you've got to take good in to put good out! Whether you're facing a blank page, an empty timeline, or a fruitless brainstorming sesh, sometimes the best thing to reboot your creative system is to dive into new (or old) inspo. So our team at LampHouse decided to share what's been inspiring us this Summer. Check out our recs and comment below what's been inspiring YOU lately.

CleanChoice is leading the way in renewable energy with the launch of their first solar farm. We had the pleasure of working with them to establish a strong brand identity through a commercial film that vividly brings both their solar farming impact and vision to life.

When things go wrong around our houses, it’s tempting to want to fix it ourselves. But a quick google search only gets us so far! Proud to partner with Brubaker Inc., a staple of our local community, to show what can happen when you call the experts. Directed by Michael Schmucker

"How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?" - Satchel Paige Two weeks ago today, we hosted an incredible night inspired by Silver Linings, our recently released film we produced for Hearst Media's streaming platform Very Local. ✨We love filmmaking, we love storytelling, but there often isn't space for local community to come together and continue the conversation beyond the screen. We wanted to change that. So we threw a party and invited everyone! The night, much like our film, celebrated community, aging, connection, and (of course) filmmaking. Big thanks to everyone who joined us! Til next time 🎉

Yesterday LampHouse had the honor of attending Willow Valley Communities’ matinee screening of “Silver Linings”! Willow Valley made the screening extra special with fun movie-themed props, complete with a red carpet! ICYMI, “Silver Linings” is a documentary produced by LampHouse for Very Local, highlighting age-defying Lancaster County locals who are redefining retirement. We are incredibly grateful to Maureen Leader, APR for connecting us with the wonderful Willow Valley Communities community. Thanks to her, we met two of our documentary stars, Janet and Yash, along with many residents who spent a day filming with us, sharing their insights on the joys of retirement. It was fantastic reconnecting with Willow Valley residents after the screening! Thank you, Willow Valley and Maureen, for inviting LampHouse to this special event. Your support means the world to us! #SilverLinings #RetirementRedefined #Documentary #LampHouse #WillowValleyCommunities
